Fences

I was just thinking....

It's time for some FENCES. I so seldom see a good fence anymore but do have some in my picture archives. Let's see what I can find this morning. How about some cemetery fences?

This one encircles the large cemetery downtown Suffolk, Virginia. 



                                     and this one is around a cemetery in Edenton, North Carolina. 



Both cemeteries are very old and most interesting to wander about in. Do you have cemeteries like that where you live? Have you ever just meandered around, looking at the tombstone?

I started doing that, looking in old cemeteries, when I did genealogy. It's amazing what you can find there.

  1. Many of our local cemeteries are surrounded by walls, which I find quite interesting as some have dates stamped into the bricks.
